Read network file from Real-Time target

[Steve_Brooks]

Can you read/write a network file from a Real-Time target?  I have a cRIO system and I placed a text file with a few characters in it.  I get error 7 (File Not Found) but I know that path is correct.  I am using a path similar to \\server\directory\serial.txt.  If you cannot do this can you do anything to/from the network?

Thanks in advanced,

Steve

Hi Steve,

LabVIEW RT can not access files on the network. You need to download the file to the RT system and access it locally. The easiest method for downloading the file is to use an FTP client. This can also be automated from a host application. Alternatively you can use TCP/IP from your host application to transfer the file/data to your LV RT application.

Cheers.
